I don't know of anyone who used a Repti Sun 10.0 on their beardies and caused death. Now with that said...there are proper usage requirements with any bulb. There is a minimum distance for safe usage and ideal placement. There are also bulbs that were producing incorrect wavelengths of UV (dipping into UVC which can be lethal as it causes cellular death and DNA destruction) There are also thinner skinned species of lizards who are not designed to handle hours upon hours of strong UV or bright light.

I didn't quite get the correlation between between your reply and my post, if it was even directed at my post. I wanted to make sure I didn't communicating something I didn't intend to communicate. The UV output of the 10.0 bulb is not really that high for a beardie. There is some great and interesting research out there to read.
